I thought i'd drop a quick line to say that i'm about a third in to this book which I got for Christmas (has been sitting on my shelf with me casting a longing eye at for over 9 months) and now that i've start reading it, it's giving me so much pleasure!
As someone who seems to think quite a bit like this man, or more precisely remembering thinking as a boy the way that he is describing thinking when he was a boy, it's a really endearing read.
To anyone who grew up with longings to 'live in the future' and has been so affected by Star Wars, Raiders, Back To The Future etc.... this is well worth getting.
